The IULIUS Company completed a new office building spanning on over 13,000 sqm in Openville Timişoara, the mixed-use project the company develops together with Atterbury Europe in the vicinity of Iulius Mall. United Business Center 1 (UBC 1) is the second building opened in Timişoara in 2017, after UBC 2 (18,000 sqm) opened in January. Following this latest achievement, the total office area delivered by IULIUS on the local market over a single year now adds up to 31,000 sqm.

Openville Timişoara will be the business hub of the western part of Romania. Works are currently underway in the project for the third office building - UBC 3 (19,000 sqm), which will be completed in 2018. Visma Software, a Norwegian developer of business management software solutions, leased 4,200 sqm in UBC 3. Moreover, the construction works for UBC 0, the tallest building in Romania (155 meters and 27 floors) are scheduled to commence early next year.

Upon completion of the first phase of the Openville project, in the fourth quarter of 2018, the office component will include a 50,000 sqm area in operation (in the UBC 1, UBC 2 and UBC 3 buildings) and another 50,000 sqm pending construction (in the UBC 0 building).

An office building integrated in a mixed-use project

The newly opened building comprises 12 floors and the companies that leased premises in UBC 1 include Atos (6,000 sqm), an international provider of IT services, and Intel (2,400 sqm), worldwide tech manufacturer. In addition to the class A facilities, UBC 1 stands out in the urban landscape of Timişoara by virtue of its architecture, as the building is triangle shaped, as well as direct access to the park and the new retail areas that are to be fitted in the Openville project. The building was erected in accordance with green building standards and will benefit from LEED certification.

The Openville mixed-use ensemble combines modern office premises with services and shopping and leisure opportunities, thus allowing for effective time management.
